    dancing as therapy

    I'm new to dancing and just wanted to share an experiance. I'd been seriosly thinking about dancing for the last year but never got around to it. I've been going through an icky and very emotionaly trying divorce which has left my self esteem and confidence shattered.

    Some friends of mine manage and/or bounce at the strip club I hang out at and asked me to dance since only 2 of the girls showed up on a busy weekend. I was in a cheerful mood for a change and I said yes. Besides being a hit, even if most of the crowd was broke, it was so exilerating to be on stage. I felt pretty, playful and desired which is something I have not felt in a very long time. Dancing has been a wonderful way for me to work through the self image issues I aquired as a result of my soon-to-be ex. That and it is nice to have a safe enviroment to be an exhibitionist, not to mention management I trust and have worked with before as a bartender.

    Sounds great, and just what you needed, I'd say go for it--just beware the trap of getting too attached to the feedback you get onstage and from customers for your self-esteem.

    I have seen many beautiful women get caught in this trap, and it's a damned shame. I will try to talk them up as much as possible onstage, and cheer them up if there's time to go in the dressing room and play counsellor, but there's only so much you can do...
